"Compromise."

Er-Governor Noble, of Wisconsin, in his speech at the Young Men's Convention at Syracuse, on the 3d instant, referred as follows to the proposition to "compromise" with the rebels:

"If John Jones lives in a house, and owns it and the property in and about it, and some day when he is out three or four scoundrels enter the house and steal all he has in it and in the yard; and if John should come in and catch them at it, what do you think John would do? Compromise the matter? Of course not. What then? Suppose he finds the servants of his house have been privy to the act and, to his astonishment, these servants who have intrigued and got these thieves in there, and after that had got the property, say to Jones, 'Oh, settle this difficulty, and not have any trouble.' 'Well,' says Jones, 'How will you settle it?' The thieves say, 'We propose to take all the personal property we have; we propose, also, to take and hold the estate, and live here, because the property belongs to this place; and lastly, as it cost us something to get here, we want you to pay the livery hire of this buggy and horse.' [Great laughter.] 'Do you suppose Jones would acquiesce? My friends, that is almost identically the case with the rebels and our northern copperheads.'"
